Thanks.

Max got the nickname for his bowling action not his footy. His was an ungainly bow;ling action and he seemed to tangle up his feet as he approached the crease.

Didn't stop him being a champion test bowler just as an ungainly kicking style does not always mean a poor kick. Just think of Phil Krakouer who held the ball in what seemed to be the wrong hand.

Was he called Tangles during his time with the Dees, or did that come later during his test career (a reference to his bowling style)?

EDIT: just saw Tiers’ post above
